Description
West Strand Portrush is a unique original painting by Kathryn Callaghan, memorialising one of the most exciting sights children in Northern Ireland have known for generations – Portrush’s beautiful West Strand, with the enticing rides of Barry’s Amusements – now Curry’s – standing tall above the town! The golden beach, striking blue sea, and fresh green grass invite you into this painting, while pressings of genuine gold and silver leaf will dazzle and delight, just as the rides themselves promise.
Completed in a classic, locally-built black frame with a white wooden inner mount, West Strand Portrush will fit perfectly with any tastes.
What makes an original Portrush painting by Kathryn unique?
Kathryn uses a unique pouring technique to create her paintings, which creates a contact-free approach to making her artwork. Black ink is mixed with gel to create a new material which offers a new and unusual finish. The mix is poured from mid-air from an open neck bottle – much like pouring honey onto toast or olive oil onto bread. The finish is a textured, glossy image set against a smooth white board.
With no sketch underneath the painting, this freeform technique allows Kathryn to create truly original, organic pieces that are full of life and energy. The result is captivating and often evocative of how we feel about the subject in our minds. It is this ‘feeling’ that Kathryn strives to achieve through her work that gives it such resonance with collectors far and wide.
